Skyscraper Month

June 1

The month of June is a time to celebrate the uniquely Western architectural and engineering feat popularly called Skyscraper. People are encouraged to take this month to learn more about the science, technology, and art of conceiving, designing, engineering, and constructing skyscrapers – according to contemporary standards, buildings with at least 40 floors – and perhaps to visit one or more of these modern megaliths for the experience of grandeur.
